Re: Steering Column?

If you don't find out soon, I'll let you know as soon as I swap in a 90 column into my 88. It's been too cold these past couple of weeks for me to try installing it.

Re: Steering Column?

I have installed a 87 column onto a 91 dash housing in the past. When I did this I had to swap the column connector for the wipers. The the correct wires were there - but there were in the wrong sequence on the plug.

I believe the 88 coulmn is the same as the 87 - but I don't know if the 89 is same as the 90-92. Just figured it's something you guys should watch out for before beginng your swap !

Re: Steering Column?

I did mine today since it was nice and warm.


The only thing I had to do was swap the connector, colors were the same and in the same order, just on a different style connector.

There was also a connector that wasn't used, but I am thinking it was the cruise control wires since my 88 had cruise and the 91 column doesn't.
